Midnight Majestic Maran female at eight weeks.

I'm curious about these ones too! I picked up one this year because I had never heard of them and thought they looked beautiful. Well she "Iris" is so much bigger than the rest of my 8 week pullets. Solid black with an iridescence to her feathers. Making me nervous that she is a cockerel. Based on everyone else's comments maybe they are just bigger ladies?

The iridescence is nothing to be concerned about. It occurs in all black birds regardless of sex or breed.

I dipped my hand into the MMM tank at my farm supply too-just on Thursday. Had to try and price was right for a Marans. Hybrid is labeled on the Hoover’s info. So I’m guessing they’ll lay well for two years and be spent early? That’s the thing. I like keeping my girls as long as I can with a little give back. We shall see. They are friendly little chicks. I picked up two Barnevelders with these two also. Excited for more dark eggs. My one Welsummer is 3 this year. And she’s tapering off. Do you think those combs are super dark? BCM x ceymani ?
Some of the chicks had feathered legs some did not.

Any hatching eggs for sale of this breed?

So are these Midnight Majesty Marens the same things as these Dominate Copper that are available at Jenks Hatchery?

I am wondering the same thing. I have two of the Dominant Coppers from Jenks and the descriptions are extremely similar. The Dominant Coppers are supposed to be from a Black Copper Marans rooster crossed with a Barred Rock hen. They are also supposed to be color sexable at hatch. Mine are about 5 weeks old now and I'm not entirely convinced they are what they were claimed to be. One is starting to look suspiciously like a cockerel even though coloring should make them both pullets. Waiting to see how things develop.

That mix is guaranteed sexable. Genetics can’t be altered. Solid male over barred female = solid pullets and barred cockerels.
